| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I reported this to our local Fox News affiliate using my cell phone a few minutes later (probably 6:45 pm CST). This morning as I was looking for other reports in the news, I saw several reports of a meteor sighting in the southern US,but they all seemed to indicate that this was to the south of them, and those reports seem to be significantly later than the one I saw to the north. I hope this helps. Tim |
